Siumut (Greenlandic: [siumut], lit. 'Forward') is a political party in Greenland in the social democratic tradition.[7][8][9] Since the establishment of home rule in 1979, it has been the dominant party in Greenland. Siumut is led by Erik Jensen, who beat the then-incumbent Prime Minister Kim Kielsen in a tight leadership contest in late 2020.[1]

Party members have been elected to both the parliament of Greenland and the parliament of Denmark.

Siumut was formed in 1971 as a political movement, and became a party in 1977. Following the establishment of home rule for Greenland in January 1979, the party won 13 of 21 seats in the 1979 Greenlandic general election for the newly formed Parliament of Greenland, and party chairman Jonathan Motzfeldt became the first Prime Minister of Greenland.[5][8]
